May I email you my questions personally?<br /><br />My email is emilia.mills@gmail.com<br /><br />Thanks in advance. :)Emilia Mills Ismailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04062778786492348585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21546391.post-5702608393796801532012-04-26T11:42:23.318+08:002012-04-26T11:42:23.318+08:00Call for Entries on the Jawi Peranakan Experience ...Call for Entries on the Jawi Peranakan Experience in Malaysia<br /><br />Would you like your family to be featured in an exciting book on the Jawi Peranakan? Do you know your family genealogy? Can you do a kinship chart? <br /><br />I am helping to edit a collection of autobiographical stories and part anthology on the lives and experiences of being Jawi Peranakan in Malaysia. Its editors are respected women of Jawi Peranakan descent.<br /><br />The Jawi Peranakan of Penang, Kedah, Melaka and of other Malaysian cities were locally-born, Malay- and, often, English-speaking Muslims of mixed non-Malay and Malay ancestry. See also the definition of Jawi Peranakan in the book “Straits Muslims: Diasporas of the Northern Passage of the Straits of Malacca” by Wazir Jahan Karim et al (2009).<br /><br />Each prose piece must be autobiographical in nature, but considerable latitude will be given to content and narrative style. Manuscripts in English should be double-spaced using Word format and not be more than 10 pages or 2,500 words in length. Only one entry per person will be accepted.<br /><br />The best nine entries will be accepted for publication in the collection mentioned above. Those chosen for publication will be asked to submit scanned family photos to accompany their pieces. Photos should be high resolution of above 300 pixels. They should contain detailed captions of place, date of event, description of persons in the photo from left to right, with comments on the persons’ dress, context of photos, etc. <br /><br />This is a great chance for you to test your talent as a writer. <br /><br />Submit entries for consideration by July 1, 2012 to mtimor_2005 AT yahoo DOT com. Questions on prose requirements may be directed to this email address as well.biblio1https://www.blogger.com/profile/01745715442281484986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21546391.post-86497628141831340462012-03-22T15:43:48.735+08:002012-03-22T15:43:48.735+08:00I certainly hope that no wakaf land in Penang will...I certainly hope that no wakaf land in Penang will be commercialized or developed benefiting selective contractors or cronies of the state government.In most wills by donors of endowed land it clearly stated that the needy and the poor only must be the sole occupants of these lands.<br />These donors cherished mankind.How many millionaires or billionaires today who are a product of the New Economic Policy are capable of emulating them.<br />Many would prefer to increase their own wealth and spend on marriages and social occasions only. Save all wakaf land in Penang and elsewhere in Malaysia forever.AbdullahAhmadPghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16825531925493673191noreply@blogger.com
